MULTISENSE

The main objective of the proposed project is to develop a number of multidomain wireless threat detection sensors, to cover typical communication systems of interest, capable of connecting to a Security Operation Centre (SOC), for the purpose of collecting and managing complex multidomain wireless threats. Such threats may include, cellular threats, WiFi threats, and threats arising from the presence of unknown drones in the vicinity of critical infrastructures.

The scientific objectives of the project include detecting wireless threats - through the oaforementioned sensors- in outdoor and indoor environments and communicate such threats to a centralized security operation centre where the alerts and threats will be further analysed, assigned to a case management system and processed accordingly.

The Technological objectives of the project include the design, implementation, testing verification and demonstration of the proposed sensors, and the relevant SOC functionalities. Technological activities will lead to the development of the proposed products that are presented in figure below.



The proposed security sensors will be turned into the following products:

Jammer-D sensor. The sensor will provide an alarm when a Jamming attempt is detected to compromise WiFi, Cellular networks or other systems of interest. Jamming attacks can be used to cause denial of service or to force the wireless device of an unsuspected victim to move to malicious serving equipment that perform a Man in The Middle (MiTM) attack.
Cellular-MiTM–D The sensor will provide an alarm when a cellular MiTM attack attempt is detected to compromise a cellular user either for the purpose of illegally obtaining its international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) number and subsequently its location, or to intercept the cellular user communication.
WiFi-MiTM-D sensor. The sensor will provide an alarm when a WiFi MiTM attack attempt is detected to compromise a WiFi user. Such WiFi MiTM attacks aim to compromise communications and users
Drone-D sensor. The Drone-D sensor will provide an alarm when a COTS Drone presence is detected over critical infrastructures, by detecting either its Remote Control signal (RC) or wireless video feed transmissions. The Drone-D sensor would only have RF sensing capabilities.
